Fraport’s selection process
The two partners were selected based on numerous factors, including the expected passenger needs and the quality of the dining options. With international cuisine, select trend concepts and regional highlights, the new terminal will feature a wide range of culinary experiences to meet the standards of Frankfurt’s international guests.
The dining spaces in Terminal 3 have now all been awarded, and the marketing of the retail and service areas is in its final phase. After a comprehensive selection process, 65 retail spaces covering an area of approximately 12,000m2 have been awarded.
